On 30 August 1996, during a fit of unparalleled insanity, Id Software
|
|
|
|
|
released Quake to the world. Spawning two sequels and a nearly uncountable
|
|
|
|
|
number of imitations and clones, Quake was a product that spawned an
|
|
|
|
|
industry. Quake was the first game to include fully-featured, real-time
|
|
|
|
|
Internet play out of the box. Quake is truly the father of modern online
|
|
|
|
|
first-person gaming.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
What's more, Quake had the built-in ability for people to change it. For
|
|
|
|
|
the first time, you could not only create custom levels in which to kill
|
|
|
|
|
each other, but you could actually change the code so you could kill each
|
|
|
|
|
other in new and interesting ways. <STRONG>:)</STRONG> Dozens, perhaps
|
|
|
|
|
hundreds, of projects were started to make entirely new games out of the
|
|
|
|
|
Quake engine. Some failed, others succeeded beyond their wildest dreams,
|
|
|
|
|
but all of them had fun trying.
|
|
|

|
After three years of undisputed success, Id released the source code to
|
|
|
|
|
the Quake engine under the GNU General Public License. This was the event
|
|
|
|
|
that made QuakeForge and all of the other engine modification projects
|
|
|
|
|
possible. We all owe Id a debt of thanks, one that many doubt can ever be
|
|
|
|
|
completely paid. Thanks, guys.
